Re: South Campbell Heights Plan Moves Ahead, Nov. 4
With regards to Mayor Doug McCallum’s comments about the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club (SFGC) refusing his offer of $1 million to help clean up the Little Campbell Hatchery – this is the first the new SFGC Board of Directors has heard about a $1 million gift, but we’d love to hear more if the mayor is willing to make a donation.
As Peace Arch News previously reported, the members of the SFGC voted against donating our 29-acre property (valued by the City to be worth $5 million) to the City of Surrey. We have reviewed all three draft donation agreements and the SFGC board minutes for the past three years, there was never any reference to a $1 million gift.
The SFGC is not only alive and well, but is thriving – as it has done for the past 60-plus years.
Our dedicated and hard-working volunteers keep the hatchery in tip-top condition and this year’s Salmon run is expected to reach record numbers. Memberships are open to those who enjoy archery (indoor and outdoor ranges), walking our well-kept nature trails or who have an interest in the indoor shooting range.
We invite everyone to come down and check us out.
Diana Barkley, Newly elected president of SFGC
